Old Slow Controls Machines (Pre-2017)
Slow DAQ Modules
The new uses the Acromag XT series DIN-rail mounted A/D, D/A and BIO moduels. The model numbers are in the format XTYYY1, where "XT" is a static prefix, "YYY" determines the function, and the "1" denotes the ModBus/TCP version of the model. The 1 at the end is important, as the other variations will not interface with CDS through EPICS properly.
